From Ross Dellenger:
"In a teleconference to discuss the new media rights deal, NCAA president Charlie Baker says there is a “commitment” to have women’s basketball tournament games deliver to teams/leagues monetary units like the men’s tournament games do."
This will be huge for the Oregon State women's basketball program moving forward and makes a future conference situation for the program all the more important.

"Baker said the NCAA’s media consultant, Endeavor’s IMG and WME Sports, has estimated about 57% of the value of the deal — or $65 million annually — is tied to the women’s March Madness tournament."
To put it in perspective, the entire NCAA women's basketball tournament is worth less that what Vanderbilt football - consistently the worst program in all of the P5 conferences - and every other SEC program receives in annual revenue rights. Every Big Ten program (except UW and UO) will also receive more money from its rights package.
Any NCAA women's basketball unit is going to be in the $25-50k range at best. The money simply is not there for more. Better than nothing, but certainly not game-changing by any means.

The money simply is not there for more. Better than nothing, but certainly not game-changing by any means. I'm not sure how much each unit will be worth, but if they pay out 60 percent of the total revenue like they do for men's hoops, that would be $39 million based on the valuation (and that could be on the low side). There are 68 teams in the NCAA women's tournament and that's an average of $573,529 a team. Obviously, that's not how it will be distributed but it seems like it will be a solid sum for the schools/conferences that do well. Obviously, it's not comparable to football or even the men's basketball. Not sure how that's relevant, though. |

You said it would be "huge" for the WBB program. At $25-$35k a unit, it won't be. |

I said it would be huge for the women's basketball program, not anything about the impact on OSU's overall bottom line. I think this move is a significant step in the right direction for women's basketball as a whole as well. For someone who calls out negativity so much, seems like you're being a little negative yourself here. |
